The Salvation Army works with some of the most vulnerable people in society. As we face the worst cost of living increase in our lifetime, people on the margins need us now more than ever. 

The Salvation Army in Southend is responding to the current crisis in a host of practical ways.

Please visit the Justgiving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/southend-citadel-salvation-army1 and donate what you can. Help us support as many people as possible.
